Thoughts on going from K500 P to K700 S
I am a woodworking hobbyist of 35+ yrs, I have a 24¡¯ x 24¡¯ shop I built in my backyard 20 yrs ago. On 8/2019 I purchased new a K500 Pro model with 80¡± slider and added Mac¡¯s super pneumatic clamps. I have been very pleased with the saw except for the lack of ability to rip 8¡¯ sheet goods. Knowing what I know now I am seriously considering buying the K700 S with 9¡¯ slider, Power Drive 2 #201, digital cross stop #171, digital display for rip fence #86, overhead saw guard #86, single phase 4 hp #162 and electrically driven scoring unit #23. Any advice or recommendations, at 63 years old I need to either be happy with what I got or go for what I really want ? Not sure I want to go through the hassle of selling the K500 P and the financial loss and then the whole process of receiving and setting up the new machine, although will seriously consider paying for FELDER to commission the K700 S. Thanks in advance

Re: Phase Converter Wanted
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýCliff, ? I have corrected myself many times here but looks like I have to pay my dues for the bad info I put out. I never said PP had choppy output, I was incorrectly concerned with a higher voltage. A VFD on the other hand, by design, puts a PWMed voltage output. This is where a transistor (IGBT to be specific) is turned on/off (10KHz is common) to conserve power expended. This is the reason that a VFD can be the side of a loaf of bread and weigh nothing compared to the size and weight of PP. It does appear that PP is getting smaller and lighter though. Here is a scope plot of my VFD. Yellow is the voltage and green is the current. As you can see voltage is discontinuous (on/off) and current is continuous. Motor runs fine as long as current is continuous. ? ? Imran ? From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Cliff Rohrabacher, Esq.

Some one here posted a pdf? where he subjected his phaseperfect to analysis? with an oscilloscope along with a rotary.? The rotary put? out smoother power and? could be adjusted the Phaseperfect? put out choppy dirty power On 12/15/20 11:14 AM, Jonathan Smith wrote:

Re: Metal Work Anybody?

I have only tapped may be 3 dozen holes total, in steel and AL.

I have cut AL with router and carbide bits and while it makes a mess it is not hard. Here are the slider nuts, while they do not have the awesome look that can be achieved with machining, they are more than fine for intended purpose and look a whole lot better than what felder sent me for the xcut fence. These were shaped with grinder and sanded with RO90 60, 100 & 180 grits. Higher finish is possible, I just did not spend the time. Also attached is a Big Squeeze housing that I just sanded with a block of wood (cannot find my sanding block) in straight line motion. I took it to 500 grit using Platin. If you want perfection see attached pdf. Ignore comment of 100 sanding discs as there were bunch of housings. There are experts here and I am a novice for metal working. Just thought I share if it helps anyone embark on something new. Imran |

Re: Laser Kerf Line for slider saw?

I have been watching this thread very closely since it was started and all the ideas have been awesome, but the one with the laser mounted on the magnetic base on the blade cover housing really gave me an idea. ? I have one of those laser adapters that you attach to the bottom of your laser for fine tuning the line out on a jobsite and thought, hmm.. magnetic base... laser adapter? " ? Here is the adapter and the base magnetic which are both on amazon? ? Fingers crossed that it will work perfectly.. ? ?

In the ad it says1-2mm wide at 1m, and 2-3mm wide at 3m. So I¡¯m guessing about 2mm, and given your blade is about 3mm, that should be fine enough.
